Setup Oracle Golden Gate one way replication on windows server

Overview:
Oracle Golden Gate provides very fast replication of data by reading transaction logs and writing the changes to one or more target databases in a homogeneous and heterogeneous environment. It is useful for High Availability Architectures and especially for Data Warehouse and Decision Support Systems. Thus, the variety of techniques and methods spreads from unidirectional environments for query offloading/reporting to bidirectional or Peer-to-Peer architectures in an active-active fashion.

Prerequisites:
Oracle Golden Gate Software Installed
Database should be in archive log mode
Supplemental logging should be enable.
Force logging should be set to yes. 

Environment Details:

Hostname	PROD-DB1
Ip Address	10.0.0.0
Operating system	Windows server 2012 R2
Environment	production
Oracle Home	D:\oracle\11204\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1
Golden Gate stage	D:\oracle\gg_stage
Golden Gate Home	D:\oracle\gg_home\product\12.1.2.1\ggfor11
OGG Processes	m_shl01s,m_shl01t,e_shl01s,p_shl01s,r_shl01t

 
Steps to setup Oracle Golden Gate One way Replication:
 1. Install Oracle Golden Gate Software, refer below link.

Oracle Golden Gate Installation on windows

2. Upgrade Oracle Golden gate version to latest release, Refer following link.

Oracle Golden Gate upgrade on Windows Server


3. Verify archive log mode, then enable the archive log mode.

4. Verify force logging and supplemental logging are set to ‘YES’ and Enable goldengate replication.

5. Create a file " GOLBALS"

GGSCI  5> edit param ./GLOBALS

6. Set db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter.

7. Create golden gate database tablespace, user account and grant permissions.

8. Enable DDL replication, as sysdba run the following in sequence providing ggadmin as schema.

9. Login as sysdba and execute role_setup then grant GGS_GGSUSER_ROLE then ddl_enable and ddl_pin.

10. Enable sequence replication, as sysdba run the following script from gg home.

11. Enable trandata for the tables to be replicated, login to database from ggsci.
GGSCI (  as ggadmin@****) 4> add trandata <Schema_name>.*,

GGSCI (  as ggadmin@****) 5> add trandata <Schema_name>.*,

Prepare Source environment
 
12. Create parameter file for manager

PORT 7809
purgeoldextracts ./dirdat/shelldb/sh*, usecheckpoints, minkeepdays 2
lagreportminutes 1
laginfominutes 10
lagcriticalminutes 90

-- delay starting other process after rebooting servers by 30min
--bootdelayminutes 20
--autostart ER *

-- auto start pump processes to startup if network failed
autorestart EXTRACT p*, retries 4, waitminutes 10
autorestart EXTRACT e*, retries 4, waitminutes 10

13. Verify manager parameter file.

14. Create PARAM file for primary extract (e_shl01s).
EXTRACT e_shl01s
-- add extract e_shl01s, tranlog, begin 2015-04-28, threads 2
-- add exttrail ./dirdat/****/sh, extract e_shl01s, megabytes 50

-- add extract e_shl01s, tranlog, begin now, threads 2
-- add exttrail ./dirdat/****/sh, extract e_shl01s, megabytes 50

discardfile ./dirrpt/discard/e_shl01s.dsc, append megabytes 50


SETENV (ORACLE_SID='****')
SETENV (NLS_LANG = "AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256")
--SETENV (ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\11204\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)

userid ggadmin, password ggadmin123

-- to read from asm
-- tranlogoptions dblogreader

-- to prevent looping in bidirectional replication or you can user excludetag
tranlogoptions excludeuser ggadmin

15. Create PARAM file for pump extract (p_shl01s).

extract p_shl01s
-- add extrat p_shl01s, exttrailsource ./dirdat/****/sh
-- add rmttrail ./dirdat/****/th, extract p_shl01s, megabytes 50
discardfile ./dirrpt/discard/p_shl01s.dsc, append megabytes 50

16. View param file of pump extract.

17. Add primary extract

18. Add pump extract.

19. Add checkpoint table.

Prepare Target Environment
 
19. Repeat the steps from 1 to 11 on Target site.

20. Create parameter file for manager on target site.

21. Create parameter for replicat process.

replicat r_shl01t
-- add replicat r_shl01t, exttrail ./dirdat/****/th
discardfile ./dirrpt/discard/r_shl01t.dsc, append megabytes 50

SETENV (ORACLE_SID='****')
SETENV (NLS_LANG = "AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256")
